This is the first of several new sheets from Superscale on the F-18 Super Hornet. This particular sheet is for either the Hasegawa or the new Revell F-18F kit and covers the CAG bird from VFA-102  in September of this year. The sheet includes all the markings you need to do this most colorful aircraft. The modeler will have to paint the spine and fins in red, but that should be a relatively easy task for most modelers.

A very nice touch is that there are extra white bits for those markings going on the red. Red is a notoriously difficult color for decal makers as it frequently 'bleeds through' any white markings. These additional pieces should help to alleviate that considerably. You will also note that the unit badges for the fin are NOT handed so don't think that this is a glitch.

Overall, a very nice sheet for those of you into modern Naval jets.
